Re: [Trisquel-users] Advertising Trisquel & FLOSS
Hello vinzv, This is a very good idea. I've been thinking along the same lines myself but I just wasn't able to put it into words. Also my lack of experience in the area of marketing put me off suggesting the idea. If there is anything I can do I would be more than happy to help in any way I can. Trisquel is unique in that it is completely free as in freedom But it's also User Friendly! This very combination is what I believe will attract many more users. It's just a matter of getting the word out there and having very accessible material to read up on to encourage more users to make the jump to freedom. (Easier said than done of course :-P ) Trisquel has such potential and I just hope one day to just bump into some random Joe Soap in a cafe and see that he's using Trisquel to design a presentation or something. That would be cool. Anyway, love the idea, Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] time settings and window snapping
Hello again, Cheers for the replies! onpon4, I guess it might have been Trisquel 6.0 I meant. I thought it was 5.5 as I remember in the beginning being able to window snap and then window snapping disappearing for a long time. I must have had Metacity set instead of Compiz in 6.0. I would have to disagree with you about the semi-transparent panel looking ugly, but I do agree that it is Very buggy! Even when using 5.5, I remember the panel suddenly becoming un-transparent after a while of running the OS, and now even when customising the panel in 7.0, those bugs still exist, and as you mentioned, the indicator applet does not become transparent. I believe if these bugs were fixed, some sort of nice transparency on the main panel would look nice for a future release of Trisquel. The new transparent Trisquel start menu in my opinion is very impressive looking. I love it. Trisquelian Thanks for the instructions to install Compiz. I may try that when I have time. Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] time settings and window snapping
Hello, As regards Window Snapping. I'm wondering why it is no longer a feature in Trisquel 7.0 too. As far as I remember, window snapping was a feature in Trisquel 5.5, but ever since Trisquel 6.0 it is no longer a feature. Also Trisquel 5.5 featured a very nice transparent menu panel by default, which I thought looked way nicer than the current default look of the menu panel. I'm aware the menu panel can be made transparent in properities, but any editing I have done with the menu panel has looked desperate. I know these aren't real urgent matters, but look and feel is a big part of attracting users to a new OS, And to the world of freedom I believe, and small little features like Window Snapping, and a nice menu panel and icons could win over Tonnes of new users! The default Trisquel desktop is like a badge of honour in my opinion, and I want to Wow people with it's look and feel, before I get technical, and then tell them the punch line... It's Completely Free as In Freedom Software! Anyway, sorry for the rant. I love Trisquel and everything it stands for. Because of Trisquel I have easily been able to experience truely free software, and for that, I am very grateful. Thank you Trisquel and everyone involved. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Steve
[Trisquel-users] Not All Updates Can Be Installed: Partial Upgrade/Continue
Hello, I'm currently running Trisquel 7.0 amd64 and I checked updates as normal and a message window pops up stating: 'Not all updates can be installed' with an option to do a 'Partial Upgrade' to install as many updates as possible or press 'Continue' to install updates as normal but updates are being held back. When I select 'Partial Upgrade' I get a message saying; 'Can not upgrade An upgrade from 'belenos' to 'trusty' is not supported with this tool.' Can anyone tell me why this is the case? Thanks in advance! Steve
[Trisquel-users] Which is it: Abrowser or GNU IceCat?
Hello, So I've been testing Trisquel 7 amd64 and so far I'm impressed! I've installed a couple of the amd64 images as they came out but I have one query. I've tried three different amd64 images; the first one containing Abrowser as the inclusion of IceCat in Trisquel 7 wasn't announced yet; the second image I tried contained IceCat and the image I'm currently running now contains an up to date version of Abrowser!? So what browser is Trisquel 7 going to have in the end? Personnally I prefer Abrowser so far. Everything in Abrowser just works out of the box. Video streaming and all the add ons are available. When I used IceCat, many webpages didn't display properly and even though Gnash was installed by default, streaming video was not an option. Also the add ons page was not working so I couldn't instal a html5 add on. I know it's still in beta stages at the moment but so far in my opinion, Abrowser is the superior browser. Well done to RMS and everyone involved for the great work! Looking forward to Trisquel 7! Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] [SOLVED] Grub2 Requests A Username/Password By Default When Booting An OS
Woops! Meant to edit out the first sentance of my comment above! lembas helped me figure this out. Thanks lembas!
[Trisquel-users] [SOLVED] Grub2 Requests A Username/Password By Default When Booting An OS
Hi again lembas, Hello, So I installed the latest Trisquel 7 image and grub2 requested a username and password by default when trying to boot any other OS other than Trisquel. All my attemps at the credintials resulted in being redirected by to the main grub menu. Here's what I did to get around this issue. I opened a terminal and entered the following command to see the username and password credentials: sudo cat /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD Then I entered the following command to edit the 01_PASSWORD file. gksu gedit /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD In order to stop grub from requesting a username and password I commented out all the lines or you can delete the lines. Then save and type: sudo update-grub2 Hope this helps other people. Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] Strange grub behaviour - Trisquel 7
Hi again lembas, I figured it out and I managed to remove the username and password request from grub.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Strange grub behaviour - Trisquel 7
Hi lembas, Thanks so much for the quick reply! I hope to be able to purge my computer of non-free stuff soon too. Most of my computer is free at least due to Debian being free by default. So I followed the path to 01_PASSWORD and I'm wondering, how do you open this file to edit it. I can't seem to find an application to open it. Have I to tweak it via the terminal? If so, how would one go about that? Thanks in advance! Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] Strange grub behaviour - Trisquel 7
Hello, So I'm running the latest image of Trisquel 7 amd64 on my Acer notebook and I've installed Trisquel alongside Windows and Debian. After a completely fresh install of all these operating systems grub (Trisquel's Grub) has been installed by default requesting a username and password to boot Debian and Windows. All my username and password attempts have failed and just brought me back to the grub splash screen. I can only select Trisquel without being prompted by the username and password request. My question is, what is the default username and password and why have this set by default in the first place? I checked out the links above but I'm still lost as to how to get around this. Any solution would be much appreciated! Thanks, Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7: Memory leak?
Hello, I had the same problem too. Performance isn't affected in any way, it just looks scary :-P Anyway, the link above says to enter this command: sudo apt-get remove libpam-smbpass It did the trick for me! Hopefully others will find it helpful too. Steve
[Trisquel-users] Kongoni GNU/Linux
Hello, Anyone have any experience using Kongoni? Apparently it's free as in freedom but it's not endorsed by the FSF. It looks impressive but it seems to be dormant at the moment. Hopefully it will come back to life because it looks user friendly and we could do with more user friendly free as in freedom OS's like Trisquel. The more the merrier!! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongoni_(operating_system)

Thanks Legimet for your help. I will check that out next time I'm reinstalling Trisquel :-)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Goodbye Abrowser, Long Live Abrowser
Hmm, the sources seem to be down.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Goodbye Abrowser, Long Live Abrowser
Brilliant news! I entered 'sudo apt-get install icecat' and it's output: 'Package icecat is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source' How do I go about adding the repo to install icecat? I'm using Trisquel 7.0 amd64. Thanks, Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] File Naming Error "This item could not be renamed"
Hi again, Thanks Legiment, that makes sense. Next time I'm installing Trisquel I'll try that solution. It's not worth the hassle right now :-P Is there an option in Trisquel's installer to specify that you want a case-sensitive filesystem? And yes I'm using Nautilus 3.10 in Trisquel 7.0 but I have experienced this in non-alpha/beta versions of Trisquel. Thanks again! Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] File Naming Error "This item could not be renamed"
Hi, Sorry for my lack of info. sudo debsums -s just returns 'command not found' ?? The root file system is ext4 and I have a /home file system in xfs. The name is only a case change but that is strange. Why must I give it a temporary name first? Thanks for the solution but it's just strange and annoying that one has to do that if they just want to change the case of a letter. Thanks anyway guys! Steve

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 Alpha Images
Hey again, Just noticed there being multiples of the same alpha images of Trisquel 7 on the images page linked above by jxself. Only difference is the dates and size. For example: trisquel_7.0-20140515_amd64.iso 15-May-2014 20:25 517M & trisquel_7.0-20140518_amd64.iso 18-May-2014 18:11 855M I have installed the image from the 15th but have been keeping up to date via 'apt-get' so does that mean I am up to date or is a reinstall necessary? Thanks in advance, Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 Alpha Images
Hi everyone, Currently testing Trisquel 7.0 amd64 out on a very new Acer Aspire E1-570 and it works like a charm. I'm loving the look and feel of it! Keep up the great work! Steve

Re: [Trisquel-users] trisquel 7 pre-release images
Hi Andrew, Thanks very much. I appreciate the info! Can't do much without a browser! :-O If one was to be mad and upgrade now would you simply change 'toutatis' in the sources.list file to 'belenos' and then enter the above commands? Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] trisquel 7 pre-release images
Hi Everyone, Loving the progress of Trisquel these days. It runs very beautifully on my Acer Aspire E1-570. Thank you to all involved! I would like to do an upgrade to Trisquel 7 from Trisquel 6 without doing a fresh install. Is this possible at this time? And if so, what commands should one type and what actions should one take? Thanks in advance! Steve

Re: [Trisquel-users] 6.0.1 Ready For Testing
Strange! The pointer to System Monitor was in System Settings for me as far as I can remember. I'll have to check again next time I'm back on the laptop. Which version were you using? Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] 6.0.1 Ready For Testing
Hi antisnob, It was a 64bit edition I installed (amd64) without the fsf software included. Hi Dave_Hunt, I'm just happy to help out any way I can. Not much difference between 6.0 and 6.0.1 but the installation runs much smoother. Delighted with the beta upgrade so far :-) The internal Atheros wireless card did not work initially but as soon as I upgraded to the newest Linux Libre kernal it worked straight away. The intel graphics card worked out of the box and I was able to use Gnome Shell and Ubuntu's unity desktop environment with ease. (Pity about ATI/AMD graphics cards *shakes fist*) Anyway, highly recommend the upgrade! Happy testing! Steve Really looking forward to future releases! Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] 6.0.1 Ready For Testing
Hey Everyone, Found out Trisquel 6.0.1 is compatible with UEFI boot. Chanced installing Trisquel 6.0 on a brand new laptop (Acer Aspire E1-570) and it refused to boot in UEFI mode but then I tried Trisquel 6.0.1 and it worked like a charm :-) Steve

Re: [Trisquel-users] Free software alternatives to popular Wingdows software
Hi Axgb, I've read that Libreoffice Draw can be used as an alternative to Microsoft Publisher. It definitely has the capabilities to open and edit Publisher files anyway. Also Scribus is supposed to be good. Hope this helps! Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] Replicant ?
Hi Xilixi, Kontalk is a fantastic free alternative to WhatsApp. I highly recommend it. It's easy to use and completely free as in freedom :-) It can be downloaded from F-Droid or Google Play. Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] 6.0.1 Ready For Testing
Cheers Leny! Thanks for the helpful info! I'll be sure to follow your advice and get testing. Thanks again! Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] 6.0.1 Ready For Testing
Hey again, Okay after keying in 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get dist-upgrade' into a terminal, I get a message stating there are 0 upgrades available. So I'm guessing the only option to upgrade to 6.0.1 is to do a fresh install? Is there any official date set for release? Cheers, Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] 6.0.1 Ready For Testing
Hi again, Thanks very much Dave. Good to know as I like to help out and test Trisquel any way I can. Also according to Andrew above, one can still upgrade from 6.0 by typing the following into a terminal: 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get dist-upgrade' Is this still true? As far as I know FSF versions of the iso files are the isos given out at free software foundation events and sometimes at Windows 8 promotional events to guide people in the direction of freedom! :-) Only difference is some extra software I think but I would go with the normal iso as I was unable to log in to the FSF iso when I tried it when 6.0 came out. Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] 6.0.1 Ready For Testing
Hi, So what currently is the story with Trisquel 6.0.1? Can one upgrade from 6.0? Is there much difference between 6.0 and 6.0.1? Cheers, Steve
[Trisquel-users] How To Reinstall Trisquel GNU/Linux Default Graphical Boot Up Splash Screen
Hello, I'm using Trisquel GNU/Linux 6.0 amd64. I recently installed Debian along side it and naturally Trisquel's Grub was overwritten by Debian's Grub. I wanted to use Trisquel's Grub so I decided to reinstall it using the command below: sudo grub-install /dev/sda Trisquel's Grub is now back, but Trisquel's lovely graphical boot up splash screen has disappeared :-( My question is, how do I go about reinstalling the splash screen?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Red Text Displayed When Logging into Trisquel 6.0 AMD64 Randomly
Thank you so much Magic Banana! Next time this issue happens when I'm booting into Trisquel I shall follow your instructions and post the logs to this thread. In relation to 'Metacity', I did change the 'Window Manager and Effects' in 'System Setting' from Compiz to Metacity because I thought it might help, but it has made no difference. To my knowledge I don't believe any hardware is failing on my Acer Aspire 5536 but I do believe there is possibly a hardware compatibility issue with my ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics card but that's nothing new as the drivers are not open sourced, therefore I am using the default desktop environment: Gnome Fallback(Classic) and have had no issues with Trisquel 5.5 under the same hardware. Anyway, thanks again and I will be back with the logs. Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] Red Text Displayed When Logging into Trisquel 6.0 AMD64 Randomly

[Trisquel-users] Desktop Appearance 'Changes Throughout The Day' Option Not Working
Hello, I'm running Trisquel 6.0 32bit with Gnome and discovered a minor issue here: Trisquel Start Icon> System Settings> Appearance: The option to have the deskop appearance change throughout the day doesn't seem to work. I've tested it out for a while now and it never changes. I believe this issue was also in Trisquel 5.5 with Gnome too. Not a major problem I know, I just thought it should be made a aware of.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Dependency Error Gtk-Gnutella
Thanks for the advice lembas! I Followed your links and tried some things but still can't manage to update the dependencies for Gtk-Gnutella :-( Anyone have an easy step by step solution to this? If there is one? I'm sure it would be handy if you wanted to update other software on Trisquel too. I managed to do it in Ubuntu a while back but can't seem to figure out how to do it for Trisquel now.

I honestly didn't notice until now (as I haven't been using Trisquel that long) but I certainly notice now :-P Every little thing helps to make this operating system the best free software can offer, no matter how silly it may sound, attention to detail is important, and that's what we the community are here for. To raise little issues like this :-) And of course big and medium ones too :-P
Re: [Trisquel-users] Problems logging in to Live Image of the FSF version of Trisquel 6.0 32bit
Ah I see! Thank you Chris! This should be known before people download the FSF version as it's much more time consuming to download with a slow internet connection compared to the non-FSF version of the image. I was very frustrated to discover I couldn't log in after all that time :-P If it's been discontinued as you say, then the image should be taken down before other poor souls get fooled like me :-D Although in saying all that, I did read in another topic called 'trisquel 6', someone called 'andrew' stated that the FSF version of the image is the image that is distributed during Free Software Campaigns. If this is the case, then it still doesn't explain why I wasn't able to login to the live desktop. If anyone else knows anything, be sure to share.
[Trisquel-users] Problems logging in to Live Image of the FSF version of Trisquel 6.0 32bit
In relation to this particular image below: trisquel_6.0-20121201-fsf_i686.iso 01-Dec-2012 10:48 1.5G Available at: http://devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/ I booted the specified live image(usb) of Trisquel above and was unable to get past the login screen. I first selected 'Login' without typing any username or password into the login fields and it loaded forever until I pressed 'Esc' so I was stuck at the login screen. Just want to know: 1. Is there anyone else experiencing this issue? (If so, any solution?) 2. Is there a default username/password for this particular image of Trisquel? My workaround was to use this image instead (Also availble at the link above): trisquel_6.0-20121201_i686.iso 01-Dec-2012 10:23 702M But my workaround still doesn't solve the issue I experienced with the first image I tried. Any solution would be Much appreciated!
Re: [Trisquel-users] [SOLVED] Trisquel 6.0 won't boot without USB Stick
Yes of Course! During the installation double check that it's the Hard Drive you're installing the bootloader to and Not the usb key! What aliasbody said will save you from having the problem at all! Thanks aliasbody! In relation to your question. It's never made any difference to me whether I type: sudo update-grub or sudo update-grub2 So I'm sure you're good with either one, but personnally I've never bothered with the '2'. Whatever you fancy. :-)
[Trisquel-users] [SOLVED]System Monitor not visible in default Trisquel 5.5/6.0 Gnome desktop setup
Hello, Having trouble locating System Monitor in Trisquel 5.5/6.0 with Gnome? Well so was I! You must display it first. Go to: Trisquel Start Icon > System Settings > Main Menu: Select the 'Accessories' catagory. Scroll through the Accessories catagory and locate 'System Monitor'. If the check box is not ticked beside 'System Monitor' check it! Select 'Close' Go to: Trisquel Start Icon > Accessories: System Monitor should now be visible in this menu. An important application to have access to so I believe it should be visible in Trisquel's Gnome by default, but it isn't, so follow the instructions above for now.
Re: [Trisquel-users] dual boot with windows 7
Hello, Had that very same problem when installing Ubuntu 12.04 a while back and with Trisquel 6.0 recently. During installation (at 'please wait') the installation stalled and refused to continue until I simply disconnected from the internet, waited a bit, and it continued to install like magic! It'll probably be easier from the beginning to not connect to the internet at all though. But as with Trisquel 5.5 it is the same solution for Trisquel 6.0.
[Trisquel-users] [SOLVED] Trisquel 6.0 won't boot without USB Stick
Hello, I installed Trisquel 6.0 32bit and I have it dual booted with Windows 7. I was Completely baffled until I found this topic on Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12461395#post12461395 I installed Trisquel 6.0 from my usb stick, removed the stick after shut down, turned on the computer to find that Grub Refused to boot into any operating system without the usb key inserted. Grub seemed to be install on my usb key!! So I simply followed wilee-nilee's instructions(found on ubuntuforums): #sudo grub-install /dev/sda Then #sudo update-grub Then shut down the computer, removed usb key, turned on the computer and problem solved! It seems to be a bug with the Ubuntu 12.04 installation and of course Trisquel 6.0 caught the bug too :-P I hope this helps people.
